Liverpool keep pressure on City with late win against Newcastle

After 37 Premier League games, the clock is ticking on Liverpool's title bid. You can feel the passion of the fans and what this club means to them.

Salah, who scored his team's second goal, was replaced by Divock Origi after 73 minutes with the match level at 2-2.

Fans had already grown tense over Salah's zealous treatment from Newcastle's Matt Ritchie, who was tasked with dealing with the in-form forward, and fulfilled his duty with some very tight man-marking.

When the score was tied at 2-2, Egypt global Mohamed Salah, who scored his side's second goal, fell inside the penalty area after a heavy collision with Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

Salomon Rondon equalized in the 54th for Newcastle, but Liverpool - playing just 72 hours after losing to Barcelona at the Camp Nou Stadium - showed its fighting qualities to eke out a win that keeps the pressure on City.

All this coming after the 3-0 loss to Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final, first-leg on Wednesday.

If Pep Guardiola's side beat Leicester on Monday and then Brighton next weekend, the title will be theirs.

However, the scrap for Champions League places behind them is effectively settled after the chasing pack dropped more points.

Liverpool is seeking its first top-flight title since 1990, and 19th in total.

Kante will sit out the second leg at Stamford Bridge this Thursday and the Blues' final Premier League outing against Leicester City next Sunday.

There'll be no last-day battle for survival in the English Premier League, with Cardiff becoming the third and final team to be relegated on Saturday.

Cardiff City's 3-2 defeat at home to Crystal Palace ensured they were relegated along with Huddersfield Town and Fulham, who lost 1-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, while West Ham United brushed aside Southampton 3-0.
